October break!

Hello again,


Sorry for the slight break in posts! Things have been crazy leading up to the break! I've been doing lots of work for my journalism classes; Photojournalism and Writing for Media I. Last week, my story on the admissions program "Coffee With a Counselor" was in our school's newspaper "The Defender" you can check it out here!

So let's recap a bit...


Fall is in full bloom here in Vermont! The leaves look beautiful and this time of year is one of my favorites at SMC. There are so many things to do like apple picking (I'm going next weekend!), hiking, pumpkin picking...etc. Vermont is a prime area for all sorts of fun fall activities! A weekend or two ago, I went on a swim team trip to Stowe, Vermont. The team stayed in a precious ski-dorm and we did some team bonding activities like develop our social and team contracts. The next morning we woke up early and hiked to the top of Stowe. It was definitely a challenge for a clumsy person like myself...but I actually only fell once! (My coach was incredibly surprised...) Here's a picture of my friend Kaytlyn and I on the top of the mountain!




Right now, I'm enjoying a semi-relaxing break at home. Although I absolutely love weekends and life at SMC the October break couldn't come at a better time. It's good to get away and have home-cooked food and be able to sleep in my own bed :) I was able to get a ride with my next door neighbor and my friend. It's usually really easy to find rides back and forth from SMC. Leading up to the October break there are usually a ton of e-mails and ad's on our classified website KnightsList for people needing/giving rides to MA, NH, VT, NY etc. St. Mike's students are always friendly and willing to give rides in exchange for gas money or just some company! :)

So that's it for now! I'll be sure to update you on all the craziness to follow in the next coming weeks! Also, I'm starting to get things all ready for going to Ireland next semester...I was accepted to my program in Galway, Ireland and sent in my intent to enroll form this week...So I guess I'm really going haha!! Hope everyone has a nice relaxing Columbus Day and talk to you all soon!
